Will no one rid us of this bloody woman?

Can Crazy May not get it into her thick, stubborn head that the Commons WILL NOT agree the Selmayr-Robbins treaty, that the EU WILL NOT change the Selmayr-Robbins Treaty and that her options now are solely to leave without a deal or to revoke Article 50.

May has been an absolute disaster for this nation.

She's still idiotic enough to think she can play games with democracy - one delay to get us past the EP elections, then a plea for a further extension once the danger of Nigel swamping the EP with 73 Brexit MEPs is past. Does she imagine we're all stupid?

The bloody woman must go and go now. Every minute she remains in office takes us closer to an irreparable disaster.

My own plea to the EU27 - which I shall make to Herr Tusk - is to reject May's request and allow 29th March to stand as our leaving date. Contact Form Here if you wish to do the same.

"...her options now are solely to leave without a deal or to revoke Article 50."

It has been like that from the start. It was always going to be no agreement or a completely unacceptable agreement. That is the only way the EU could play it. And this is just the Withdrawal Agreement! Wait for the jiggery-pokery to come regarding the future relationship. It is unavoidable. The EU could not allow it to be avoided or the game would be up. It has always been unavoidable. Hence the third option creeping up on the rails: revoke A50.

It would be funny if Bercow’s grandstanding gave us a no deal Brexit. Even Labour would think twice before giving him a peerage. He could tour the country with David Cameron, maybe they could have a gay marriage?

Tusk has announced he will only grant an extension if she can pass her WA next week. Not bloody likely, so as you say it’s either no deal or revoke the Act of Parliament that invoked A50. Based on her performance over the last two and a half years I very much doubt she has the balls for the latter, so no deal it is.

TM’s to make a statement outside no 10 tonight. Maximum length of extension the EU will grant is to the 23 May, the day of the European elections. She must have known that. She’s boxed in now. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.

Um, how can the Parliament pass the WA now? There's no change to whats was voted on the other day, Bercow has just told us that centuries of Parliamentary rules means they can't vote on it again. So there's no way that it can be passed, which means no extension of A50, which means No Deal on the 29th (hurrah!). Or am I missing something?

I watched the broadcast where Theresa May blamed everybody else. I wondered at the time if she had expected to win the minority parties around and make stunning announcement about ratifying the draft WA. Perhaps that is why she was so upset at 'the MPs' not doing what she expected, and was left making a mighty earth-shaking announcement about nothing at all.

Unfortunately the only way it would really make a difference is if it gets into the mid teens millions, I think. However it is interesting to watch it climb and more so the map-by-constituency of voters.

I think the petition to revoke A50 is rather like the one soon after the referendum in 2016. Apparently there are signatures from everywhere: Russia to the Klingon home world! Guido has an article on this.

My commiserations with any genuine signers of this abomination - you have been cruelly betrayed.- Raed

A quick look at the json data shows that Guido is trying too hard. The numbers from Alpha Centuri etc in total are piddlingly small so far compared to the numbers coming from the UK. Lets be really generous cos I can't be arsed to add up and say 20k of 1.2 Million signatures so far may be 'fake'.

Well that's the gist of a number of your past comments on the actual referendum.

Is it? Maybe so, senility approaches fleet of foot but I don't recall ever saying much about the numbers/endorsement thing of the referendum itself, except that I believe that under our system referenda for constitutional questions are (nearly) always a bad idea.

And yes I agree that even if the petition does pass the 'Leadsom Endorsement' (stupid woman, that's like standing in a Norfolk field and proclaiming 'at least it isn't raining') it wouldn't trump the referendum result per se. Such a petition isn't even just 'merely advisory' as the referendum was.

What is interesting and will, I dare say, be interesting hordes of parliamentarians' unpaid 'researchers' tonight will be the % patterns in the constituencies.

Last time i managed to get on the site it was over 1.3 million, but as the site seems to go down every 5 minutes or so it might be as much a case of people not being able to vote as it being 'out of steam'. Don't forget scores of Gaurdian readers across the country are now home from 'work', through their first bottle of wine and now checking their twitter.

Now please excuse me, I just must get back on the live updates from Brussels site and watch our glorious leader fearlessly battling for Britain.

Ok Sarcasm aside, someone -either brexiter or remainer- explain to me just how come she is still PM?!?! When asked by several EU leaders what her plan was if parliament rejected her deal again she said nothing and remained silent with a wasp-sucker-face.

Support for any 'leave' cause (petition, parade, march, protests etc) is rightly low as 'leave' actually won and in a true democratic society there should be no NEED to protest to get a legitimate vote result enacted.

Also in a true democratic society the 'losers' should accept the fact they lost and STFU.

If anyone thinks another vote may settle the issue then consider that most politicians and commentators suggest that should one be held the leave result would be upheld or even exceeded given the blatant and disgraceful abuse of democratic 'power' that is on display.

If it wasn't for the Globalist-inspired/backed/paid 'remain' protests we might unite, as a country, behind the actual need to keep a democracy under us but Remain supporters think only of themselves - if not for personal reasons then as gullible fools acting on behalf of the Globalists.

Leave won. Remain lost. Democracy is at stake and f*ckwits that would prefer to see democracy destroyed rather than take the WTO exit should really look to themselves for their betrayal of 17.4m+ other people and the future of a country that WILL fall apart if the senseless disregard for the democracy Britain brought to the world is destroyed through sheer hubris.

Watching the Constituency map slowly beginning to resemble something akin to a map of the Danelaw, with the constituencies up North lagging behind at under 1% of constituents . By comparison some places in Alfred's Kingdom it is up to 6%-which is the sort of numbers, even in non marginal seats, that tends to be something that MPs will want an eye kept on (and one of the reasons Leavers should have backed our own dear Mr X, sweet natured hunney bunny that he us, and his call for letters-to-mps).

If this petition had been entitled "fuck and ignore the inbred nazi morons who are too stupid to vote as they've been told" that would probably have been the only honest thing remainiacs had done since (or for 20 years before) the referendum.

It's what they actually been trying to do. So passionately that we look increasingly likely to actually leave with no "deal".

Compare Theresa May's signature with that of Donald Trump, her's is a wishy-washy squiggle whereas his is bold and legible. She tilts her head and often photographed looking down and indecisive whereas he looks up and forward. I'd hitch my cart to current USA to that of EU - at least their legislature is based on Common Law and we more or less have a language in common.
